Yes, this also applies to the monkey faced actress from ESB, Clive Revile and Sebastian Shaw, and all of the fans that landed GL in his massive ranch in California.

Agreed. All of the great work that other people poured into the original versions of the films have now been completely trampled in the mud by George Lucas' attitude. Their hard work and artistic brilliance was nothing more than a crappy intermediary step in his mind; forget about preserving history. Its sickening to think about. He's a rich, out of touch, and haughty man who thinks the world revolves around his petty and selfish vision.
